Why not do it the debian way:

http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/336

Just follow the instructions there (you can even put yourself in as
maintainer) and you end up with a debian package in the parent
directory of the flac source tree (I was looking for it inside the
source tree...silly).

Then issue a dpkg -i flac_x.y.z.deb and you have a new flac inside your
debian system without breaking anything:

lembeke:/home/koen# apt-cache policy flac
flac:
Installed: 1.1.4
Candidate: 1.1.4
Version table:
*** 1.1.4 0
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
1.1.2-6 0
500 http://download.mirror.ac.uk etch/main Packages
50 http://mirror.ox.ac.uk sid/main Packages

and it won't be updated until debian releases a newer flac package

Koen.
